   Personal opinion: I don't watch TeeVee because (a) its mostly crap and   
   (b) its a waste of time because you have to sit and watch it. If I have   
   to sit and start at something I much prefer that to be a book because the   
   plots and general treatment are streets ahead of what you get on the boob   
   toob. An example: I've read and watched three versions of MASH: the book   
   is by the far the best version, not least because it has has sub-stories   
   that would never have gotten past either movie or TV censors. The film   
   was pretty good, but TV series was bowdlerised crap by comparison.   
      
   I much prefer radio (and Internet Radio) because its quite possible to   
   listen while doing something else without being distracted from either.   
      
   Internet Radio: if you don't have it available on a decent sound system   
   you're missing out on some good music. Zappateers is usually decent   
   listening, but sometimes excels itself, such as when they ran one of the   
   concerts that became 'Roxy and Elsewhere' but there's also some excellent   
   blues and jazz on there.
